Zesticelus profundorum

Description

Zesticelus profundorum (Gilbert, 1896).

Flabby Sculpin. To 6.4 cm (2.5 in) TL (Eschmeyer and Herald 1983). Sea of Okhotsk, northern Kuril Islands (Sheiko and Fedorov 2000), and Pacific Ocean off south-eastern Kamchatka (Bolin 1944) to south-eastern Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) and off Vancouver Island, southern British Columbia (Love et al. 2005) to northern Baja California (Bolin 1944). Benthic; depth: 422–2,580 m (1,384 –8,465 ft) (min.: Hoff 2013; max.: Eschmeyer and Herald 1983). A reported minimum depth of 88 m (289 ft) (Eschmeyer and Herald 1983) is evidently a printer’s error (Mecklenburg et al. 2002).
